23 June - 1 August 2003

Overview
The Classical Summer School is designed to provide its participants with a well-founded understanding of the growth and development of the ancient city of Rome and its immediate environs from the earliest times to the age of Constantine through a careful study of material remains and literary sources. Daily visits to sites and museums will be preceded and accompanied by lectures intended to offer an introduction to the material and place it within its context. Besides frequent excursions within Rome, the group will take field trips to major sites such as Palestrina, the Alban Hills, Ostia, Cerveteri, Tarquinia and Veii. The program can be physically demanding due to the frequent field trips and the summer heat of Rome. Graduate credit for teachers is available at an extra cost to the tuition; interested applicants should contact the Director for further information.
